A new book is being released from drafts that J.R.R. wrote up before his death. It's called "The Children of Húrin" and focuses on a time before Lord of the Rings.

I don't know about any of you, but I'm a major Tolkien nerd. I've read LOTR, The Hobbit, a great majority of the history of Middle Earth, and part of The Silmarillion.

Here's the Wikipedia link if you want to learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_H%C3%BArin

It sounds like another winner.

I spent the good half of 9th grade reading nothing but! So thank you kindly for the info. My bestie will love me for this news.

the only thing i've read by him is The Hobbit.
it was really good though.

something tells me you guys would love the Tolkien honors course my school is running this semester.
